2.1 More on Solving Equations

When an equation contains fractions or decimals, we can use the multiplication property to eliminate them. The process is called clearing the equation of fractions or decimals.

Objective: Solve equations containing fractions or decimals.

Solving an Equation with Decimals

Solve the equation by clearing it of all decimals first.

2.5 Using Inequalities

Suppose that a machinist is manufacturing boxes of various sizes with rectangular bases. The length of a base must exceed the width by at least 3 cm, but the base perimeter cannot exceed 24 cm. What widths are possible?

2.6 Compound Inequalities

A compound inequality is two simple inequalities joined by “and” or “or.”

Objective: Solve compound inequalities.

Statements involving the word “and” are called

conjunctions.For a conjunction to be true

all individual statements must be true

Statements involving the word “or” are called

disjunctions.A disjunction is true when at least one of the statements is

true

Conjunctions2 3x and x

2 3x and x

In mathematics, conjunction is called intersection and is symbolized by the symbol:

Disjunctions
